MAC Face & Body foundation - good?

I'm getting a bit tired of Clinique and Bare Escentuals foundations and am thinking of going back to MAC.

I've tried studio fix and studio tech and I don't find them amazing. I find mineral foundation a little drying in winter and the cream foundations are too heavy for my liking.

I have heard some good things about the face/body foundation, though - any boardsies use it and would you recommend it?

I have the face and body foundation and I really like it. It gives a lovely finsh and you can almost choose the sort of coverage you want with it; and it lasts pretty well too. The bottle it comes is huge, which means it lasts forever, but is a bit of a bummer for hand baggage at the airport and the 100ml rule.

It can be hard to get tho

Hey!

I have been using the face and body foundation for the last few years and love it! You can build up different levels of coverage on your skin and it blends out very easily. The consistency feels very light on your skin I sometimes forget im wearing it! Im super pale aswell and it blends in with my skin tone great. Highly recommend it!

Can you get the face and body foundation in BTs??? I know the Galway store don't stock it; as it isn't a stand alone store maybe the Dublin branch is different

Last time I looked for a sample in BT's (Armani) they said they'd run out of little sample jars - gave me the impression if I'd had one with me they'd have given me a sample no problem.

I am currently wearing MAC Face and Body that I got as a tester from BTs . I'm finding it a little dry though. Maybe it's just because my skin is dry from the cold weather of late.
